Harry and Meghan 'showing true selves' as they share kiss on Colombia tour Meghan 'so honoured' as she and Harry make history on four-day tour of Colombia Harry and Meghan took to the stage alongside Colombia’s vice president Francia Marquez, whose office organised the couple’s four day tour of the South American country. The city’s mayor Alejandro Eder told the Mirror : “Prince Harry’s Spanish was actually quite good. “Then he switched to English, and his wife translated for him.
She has very good Spanish.” Mr Eder said that the couple were later gifted presents, including a bottle of Viche — a beloved local liquor native to the Pacific region of Colombia — and a wooden marimba to represent their appearance at the festival. The mayor’s wife also gave Meghan a handmade bag made from sustainable material.
Harry and Meghan greeted and hugged a children’s choir who were onstage with them to say goodbye before later speaking with other artists backstage. Mr Eder posed with the couple backstage before sharing a conversation, which included him telling Harry that his Aunt Princess Anne had visited Cali back in the 1960s. He said: “They both mentioned that they want to go back to the US and tell the world about Colombia.
” Asked to quantify the importance of Harry and Meghan’s visit, Mr Eder said: “I think it's very important, because abroad, normally people think that Colombia is unreachable, that Colombia is an extremely dangerous country, that if they come here, you know something bad's gonna happen. “But Colombia is actually a wonderful country. Obviously, we have many problems, like many other countries do.
“But we need the world to start looking at us in a different way.” He added: “Our invitation to your readers would be, please come visit. “And that's why we're so grateful that Prince Harry and Meghan came here.
